Interview with Lisa Edelstein and Cuddy Strip-Tease (Finally)
You know, I kept saying I was going to grab the Cuddy strip-tease and put it up online for everyone, but I kept forgetting! We have it on our DVR, so I can watch it there and forget to look for it online. FINALLY we have the strip tease, or the Lisa Edelstein strip tease or pole dance - whatever you want to call it. I call it: sheer genius.
Lisa also gave a short interview to E!’s Kristen , where she talks about Cuddy, House, and the strip tease and Hugh. Here’s a little excerpt:
Could you tell us something fun about the lap-dance scene?
We filmed for about four hours, and there were several moves that were left out in the final edit, which were my favorite. I rehearsed for about two weeks with a special trainer who does not train strippers but trains women to do that kind of dancing for themselves or for their husbands or wives, however they may roll. It was a little scary, but it was a lot of fun.
How did Hugh handle it?
Hugh was so wonderful. I did it for him before we shot it because I was so worried. It’s a whole different relationship than what we have as friends working together. So for Hugh and the director and producer of that episode, I did a personal lap dance and showed it to them, and Hugh was incredibly supportive, like a cheerleader. There was nothing about what he did that made me uncomfortable. He appreciated it as a man, up to the level that he could and should in a way that was not inappropriate. I felt beautiful, and it ended up being a really lovely experience.

I didn’t like the scene, to me it felt so unnecessary and out of place - well, but I also don’t want to see any Huddy-action going on, sorry
But kudos to Lisa Edelstein, she looks pretty stunning for her age!

Sandra, I can see what you’re saying but I read somwehere where.. they had an interview with Lisa Edelstein about how she felt about that scene and she said that it’s all about what’s in HOUSE’S HEAD!! So I think she just was trying to explain how.. like umm.. how House saw Cuddy.. so it really wasn’t degrading as one would see that scene as. (if that makes sense at all?)
